This is a project I've had in mind to do for a long time, but just haven't. The details just never came together. I saw something similar to this - at least the words - as a child. Someone had given my cousin these words in a small little frame. They resonated and stuck with me for all these years. I thought about making it for a 4X6 frame, but wanted the 3-D effects..... Then I started making these Easel Cards and this came to me!
The other ingredient to this card is My Digital Studio, the computer program you can get a FREE 30-day trial to use! (EXTRA: If you order it from ME and request them, I'll send you some special training videos!) I created the sentiment on the bottom and the letters other-than-the-first-one for the words above. The J-O-Y is stamped with the Lovely Letters Stamp set. I used the Baroque Motifs stamp set for the background on the Wisteria Wonder card stock and on the "flower" punched with the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. One of the stamps in the set fits perfectly!
I've always thought I'd do this and make one for our pastor, but I guess I'll have to make another one for him, I don't think he'd like the Concord Grape/Wisteria Wonder combination I used here! I have a retired "western" set in mind and now that I've done one, it should go faster, I think..... Meanwhile, this is on MY desk to remind ME!
Don't forget that Stampin' UP! is offering a 30-day trial of My Digital Studio for FREE. If you buy this from me, I'll send you a thank you email that will allow you to sign up to receive some FREE training videos during that 30 days.
Free-Free-Free - what more could you want? Take the leap and try it! Leave comments below.
Happy Stamping!
